As I said before, and you said yourself, ( Flamengo) is one of the biggest, I didn't ask. As you said, there were other teams interested in me, but it is very difficult to put Flamengo and the other teams on a balance,” commented Plata, highlighting the weight of the red-black shirt in the decision.
Gonzalo Plata arrives at Flamengo as a great hope of offensive reinforcement, especially for the sequence of competitions in which the club is involved. The Ecuadorian striker also praised the club's commitment in negotiations with Al Sadd (QAT) and made it clear that the will was decisive for the agreement: “So I didn't think, I decided to be here, they did their best, I did my best and here I am, thanks to them.”

Coach Tite, during his time at Flamengo, highlighted a clear and objective mentality that he believes is crucial for any team that aims for great achievements: the incessant search for titles. According to him, the mentality of "fighting for everything" is a principle that guides his work and the way he sees football. For Tite, the essence of being at a club of Flamengo's magnitude goes beyond simply participating in competitions. The focus is on fighting for every trophy available, regardless of the final result.
Tite's speech reflects what many consider to be the essence of high-level sport: continuous competition. He doesn't just talk about achievements, but about the need to maintain a level of commitment and maximum delivery, without choosing championships or prioritizing games. “You have to go all out”, as he himself said, is a mantra that exemplifies his approach. For Tite, the search for victory must be the absolute priority, regardless of whether the team is playing in a state championship, an international competition or a simple friendly match.
Tite has a long career in football, and this speech is nothing new for anyone who follows his career. In command of the Brazilian team, he always preached the importance of total focus in all competitions. The philosophy of sparing no effort, even in the face of a tight and exhausting schedule, is something that has been with the coach for a long time. At Flamengo, a club with a demanding fan base and a tradition of victories, this stance makes even more sense.
Flamengo's culture is marked by the expectation of always winning. The fans expect the team to enter the field with the same combative spirit, regardless of the opponent or the competition. By saying that "you don't have to save", Tite is, in a way, aligning his vision with that of the club. He understands that, in an environment where the pressure for titles is constant, the commitment to excellence is non-negotiable. The coach seems to embrace this pressure as part of the challenge of being on an elite team.
